A 53rd-minute goal from Alexis Venegas gave the San Jose State women’s soccer team a 1-0 win over CSU Sunday afternoon.

The road loss is the final Mountain West game of the season for the Rams. Colorado State University will finish last in the conference with a 1-9 record in MW play. The lone win came last week against Nevada.

Sunday placed the two worst teams in the conference against each other. Play was even in the first half, with neither team managing to create scoring chances. In the second half, fatigue appeared to set in for CSU (2-13-2, 1-9 MW) as it played its second game of the weekend. SJSU (3-13-1, 2-6-1 MW) was fresh after having a bye Friday.

Venegas gave SJSU the breakthrough when she found room inside the box and fired a bullet past Maggie Sherman early in the second half.

CSU finishes its inaugural season Friday when the Rams play in Greeley against the University of Northern Colorado.
